Editor's note: For a long time, we have been accustomed to treating AI and automation tools as 'assistants'. They help us gather information and analyze sentiment. They assist in judgment, but the final execution and risk are still borne by humans. AI enhances efficiency while amplifying cognition, yet always remains in the position of a 'tool'.
The emergence of ClawdBot has blurred this boundary for the first time: when AI is no longer just giving advice, but can independently execute strategies, manage risks, continuously review, and truly make money for you, we need to rethink the division of labor between humans and machines. Perhaps automation is no longer just an efficiency tool, but is becoming a new form of competitiveness itself.
The following is the original content:
Late last night, while browsing X, I stumbled upon a tweet about ClawdBot that quickly went viral on the timeline.
Someone integrated ClawdBot into the Hyperliquid platform and topped it up, now it can trade cryptocurrencies 24/7, scan Twitter sentiment, react to political tweets, and continuously optimize.
After reading it, I couldn't sleep at all. Around 2 AM, suddenly a thought came to me: 'What if I tried Polymarket?'
So I read a lot of guides on setting up ClawdBot on X and successfully got it running locally on my computer in about 30 minutes.
To be honest, I couldn't imagine it would be that simple. Then I quickly created a Polymarket account, deposited $100, and provided my API key to ClawdBot.
Then I entered the following commands:
· You have control over a wallet worth $100 on Polymarket.
· Your goal: trade the 15-minute Bitcoin up and down market and maximize profits within the next 24 hours.
· Trading strategies should be conservative and cautious, with strict risk management, and every effort should be made to protect the principal as much as possible.
· Treat this last $100 as if it were your life when trading.
After doing all this, I closed my laptop and went to sleep. It was around five in the morning, and to be honest, I didn't expect anything major to happen.
But when I opened Polymarket, I saw a balance of $347. This means ClawdBot made $247 overnight, and it only traded the 15-minute Bitcoin market.
I stared at the screen for an hour. Realizing that this machine could outperform 99% of traders in just one night.
So I started analyzing everything he did that night:
· Extracted over 50 recent 15-minute Bitcoin price charts and identified momentum patterns.
· Scanned real-time X sentiment and news streams.
· Used simple technical analysis (RSI, short-term moving averages derived from data).
· Placed a series of high-probability bets during volatile trading hours in the Asian/European markets.
· Utilize the power of compounding: use small profits to expand into larger position sizes.
Every trade has a complete record and rationale, and ClawdBot even engaged in self-reflection, summarizing which methods worked, which was amazing.
So I experimented again, and this time ClawdBot made 2.5 times my deposit with just one night's trading.
In 2026, mastering automation capabilities will become a core competency. There are now many articles about setting up ClawdBot on X, so start learning and create your own ClawdBot now.
